With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Kemerovo, 50 miles away, has to offer. Krasnaya Gorka Museum, Kart Racing Center Adrenaline and Theatre for Children and Youth alone justify the drive. Located 50 miles away, Tomsk is another popular option. If you visit, don’t miss Skomorokh Puppet and Actor Theater, Lenin Square and Fold Drama Theater at the Science Center.
